Whiskey Lullaby - Hit Co. Masters

She put him out like the burnin'

End of a midnight cigarette

She broke his heart he spent

His whole life tryin' to forget

We watched him drink

His pain away a little at a time

But he never could get

Drunk enough to get her off his mind

Until the night

He put that bottle to his

Head and pulled the trigger

And finally drank away her memory

Life is short but this time it was bigger

Than the strength he had to get up off his knees

We found him with his face down in the pillow

With a note that said I'll love her till I die

And when we buried him beneath the willow

The angels sang a whiskey lullaby

La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la

La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la

The rumors flew but nobody knew

How much she blamed herself

For years and years she tried to hide

The whiskey on her breath

She finally drank her pain away a little at a time

But she never could get drunk

Enough to get him off her mind

Until the night

She put that bottle to her

Head and pulled the trigger

And finally drank away his memory

Life is short but this time it was bigger

Than the strength she had to get up off her knees

We found her with her face down in the pillow

Clinging to his picture for dear life

We laid her next to him beneath the willow

While the angels sang a whiskey lullaby

La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la

La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la

La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la

La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
